Session 5: The Stahlmaster
Thunsheer 28
General Summary
As an alarm spell rang out, more kobolds came running to the location of the Rusty Centaurs Adventuring Troupe, but not all were there to antagonize. Greeble and Kneeble, two previously accosted kobolds, had considered Plundertooth's offer to "join the crew" more carefully and arrived on the scene just in time to assist in laying waste to our heroes assailants.
Pushing deeper in the mountain hideout of Huron Stahlmast, the Centaurs cleverly avoided a cunning trap and easily overpowered a duergar blacksmith who was producing bomb parts. Thereafter, Ulfgar raided the dwarven smith's pretty decent collection of gemstones.
Then our mercenaries came face-to-face at last with Huron at the base of a mighty forge in the heart of his lair, just as he clambered into the pinnacle of his ingenuity: a powerful suit of clockwork-powered armour he dubbed "The Stahlmaster." Recognizing that only those with considerable talent could possibly have made it that far, Huron suggested to the assembled interlopers that rather than enemies, they might be allies, if the Centaurs were willing to work for him as his elite henchmen. As he made this offer, Gorem lost patience and lunged at the iron man in her wolfen form. Her initial blow was easily batted aside, but a short battle erupted in which both Huron and his Drow companion were brought low, though not before the drow attempted to escape through a hidden passage way that seemed to descend quite precipitously into the interior of the mountain below.
Catching their breath after this fight, our heroes are left to contemplate what remains in this lair, what lies below it, and the implications for Hupperdook and the Dwendalian Empire as a whole.
